The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.

For anything you’re about to send, ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” if the answer is no, rewrite and reread. ______
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. ______If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it.
